Where most other online games have the play character kill a never ending hoard of enemies to gain experience and purchase levels from a trainer, Visions will have play characters learn their skills by completing quests, and then use their skills to improve their ability that skill. The skills they use the most will be the skills they are best at.

Visions is supposed to be a first-person MMORPG, except without the whole FPS stuff. Maybe you can be like David and have a slingshot to shoot down giants or something. The plot takes place in about 100 A.D. during the times of Emperor Trajan. Over time new emperors will rise to the throne and new quests will appear.

There are are fuckton of classes (but not as much as EQ2), separated into crafters (bakers and shit), outdoorsmen such as ranchers, physical classes like mercenaries, and scholastic classes (like an entertainer. How the entertainer entertains is never mentioned.)

There are also supposed to be classes based on scriptures...aptly named "Scripture Quests". Too bad, due to the game's lore, there isn't anything like nail Jesus to the cross for 100 XP or almost sacrifice your son to God to prove your faith.
